It's Monday morning, and all are still feeling the warm glow from the wonderful ceremony and reception Saturday. Thanks to you and your staff for your gentle but invaluable guidance that brought my daughter's wedding vision to reality. Many folks said it was the best they'd ever attended. The club was so elegant and the staff was exceptional to us and our guests.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help in organizing our wedding reception. I'm so happy we ended up moving in out to the courtyard. The weather was perfectly lovely. The lights were beautiful. The food was delicious - and we absolutely devoured our late-night packaged meals at the hotel! Thank you so much for you patience with all of our last-minute planning and details. Your calmness and cheerfulness really made all the difference. I just really cannot say enough to thank you.

Thanks again for all your help in putting together what amounted to a truly lovely wedding reception for our daughter and her newly minted husband. You held our hands, so to speak, when we needed it and patiently guided us through the entire process as well as the many options and the pros and cons of each. We always felt confident in your organization and your judgment, and our confidence in you was never misplaced. Thanks, too, for the excellent vendor list that you put together.

Wow...you are all one great team...! Thank you so much for making the wedding...not just beautiful.... but magical! The food, service, music, the love story, the flowers...(and of course the organization). I can't wait to see the photos and the video to re-live such a special evening. You are all the very best!
